Guys, I'm very new to ODBC, so please bear with, okay?
I'm looking at example code in a particular windows binding package, and
see the following:
...
-- Open Database
Open (DB_Control.Database,
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; " &
"Data Source=..\..\tutorials\adotest.mdb");
...
That statement succeeds in opening that mdb (Access) file for further
manipulation. I have no idea where they came up with the information
that the way you connect with an access database is to use the
incantation "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0". Likewise, I have no idea what
comparable magic string would specify a mysql database.
1) What string would I substitute into that code sample to connect with
a mysql database instead of an access database?
2) What document should I have been looking at to discover that for
myself?
Thanks! --D Nyberg
